Atlas’s discography speaks of a solo artist who continually explores and develops her route through music, also collaborating with names including Jean-Michel Jarre and Peter Gabriel; and her arrival at large-scale project and album ‘Strange Days’ marks a significant, visionary shift. A broad personnel is wholly attuned to their concept – at its core, pianist Alcyona Mick, bassist Andy Hamill, drummers Laurie Lowe and Asaf Sirkis, trumpeter Hayden Powell and trombonist Robinson Khoury. Alongside the strings and Oli Savill’s percussion that are central to this unique, balanced fusion of jazz and Arabic music come guest appearances from reedsman Idris Rahman, guitarist Paulo Vinicius and vocalists Joss Stone, Tanya Wells and Sofiane Saidi. Metaphorical, dystopian themes abound as the swirling jazz mystery of “Out of Time” unveils Atlas’s vocal fluency and inflection, while spirited “Maktoub” (‘that which is written’) bounces with infectious hip-hop and Tsifteteli rhythms, portamento strings and choral unison. The serenely-ornamented “Inherent Rhythm” leads to soulful, post-hip-hop sashay ‘Words of a King’ (referencing Martin Luther King and Jacques Fresco), featuring a gliding vocal duo with Joss Stone. The James Brown classic ‘It’s a Man’s World’ is unexpectedly interpreted in smoky, sensual film noir (hear those strings); and impressionistic reverie “Moonchild” pays homage to incisive poet Kate Tempest. ”Strange Days is a culmination of what I want to express through music – my hybridity and duality between the Middle East and Europe, in all its facets”, affirms Atlas. “We are blessed with these musicians, combining everything we love about jazz and Arabic music.” Artist Natacha Atlas Genre Jazz Label Whirlwind Recordings Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Out Of Time Maktoub Min Baad All The Madness Sunshine Day Lost Revolutions Inherent Rhythm Words Of A King It’s A Man’s World Moonchild Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Dave Brubeck Quartet Jazz Goes to Junior College Jazz | Spiral Records | 1LP Released 26th November 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet Jazz Goes to Junior College £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Spiral Records SKU: 8105243 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joe Stilgoe New Songs For Old Souls LP Jazz | Linn Records | 180g, 1LP Released 18th May 2015 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joe Stilgoe New Songs For Old Souls LP £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Linn Records SKU: AKH584 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Coltrane ’58: The Prestige Recordings Jazz | Prestige | 8LP, Box Set Released 29th March 2019 £233.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Coltrane ’58: The Prestige Recordings £233.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Prestige SKU: 7205365 Formats: 8LP, Box Set Released Date: 29th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Duke Ellington & Ray Brown This One’s For Blanton (Analogue Productions/Pablo) Jazz | Analogue Productions/Pablo | 180g, 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £47.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Duke Ellington & Ray Brown This One’s For Blanton (Analogue Productions/Pablo) £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions/Pablo SKU: AAPJ 154 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grachan Moncur III Evolution (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th November 2022 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Grachan Moncur III Evolution (Classic Vinyl Series) £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4535335 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson (SuperVinyl) Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 1LP Released 30th September 2024 £67.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson (SuperVinyl) £67.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: LMF516SV Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th September 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Patricia Barber Companion (1 Step) Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released 26th April 2024 £152.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Patricia Barber Companion (1 Step) £152.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: IMXLPO6053-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Box Set Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stuart McCallum City Jazz | Naim Jazz | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th October 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stuart McCallum City £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Naim Jazz SKU: NAIMLP220 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Coltrane Newport 61 Jazz | Birdland | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 10th June 2013 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Newport 61 £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Birdland SKU: BIRD015 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 10th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey Orgy in Rhythm Jazz | Go Bop | 1LP Released 2nd February 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey Orgy in Rhythm £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Go Bop SKU: GB013LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
